Sittin here thinkin'
Lettin' my thoughts take over...
Was it ever real? Was I drivin?
Or was I bein' schauffered?
Thought I had control,
But the wheel wasn't in my hand.
I was on the passenger side,
Car wasn't movin', I was just sittin' cause I couldn't stand.
But back then in my thoughts,
I was led to believe,
That I was soarin' through the clouds,
Out on one of my many journeys.
No rain, just sunshine,
In my horizon.
No clouds in my view,
No thunder or lightnin'.
But I noticed in the small print,
On my review.
It says,"objects may be closer than they appear."
That's when I noticed you.
The storm.
Brewing dark on my perfect day.
Came into view,
And swept my sunshine away.
Clouds gathered, lightning struck,
And thunder roared.
I tried the wipers they helped a bit,
but the rain poured.
A warning broadcast,
announced a tornado.
But there was no were to run,
Where would I go?
I pulled a shoulder,
to get off the road.
I got out in the rain,
it was sooo cold.
The only safety I could find,
was a deep rooted tree.
I grabbed on and said a prayer,
that I make it out safely.
You came through.
A devastating disaster.
Destroyed a bit much,
Your memories a laster.
But through it all I learned to let go and fight the perfect storm.
I'm Stronger Now..
